Windows Mail in Windows Vista - the connection to the server failed.

The connection to the server has failed. Subject 'Test', account: ' Windows
Live Mail ', server: 'smtp.live.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, secure (SSL):
Yes, Socket error: 10060, error number: 0x800CCC0E

Here's the error message popped up when I tried to send a message (it
was just a test) and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.  I was never able to make it work.

Also, when I don't have a selection of 'Mail' to change the e-mail settings in the control panel (Classic view).

You cannot use Hotmail in Windows Mail.

http://www.SimpleHelp.NET/2007/02/07/a-beginners-guide-to-setting-up-Windows-Mail/

Link above has an easy to follow Guide to set up Windows Mail.

Contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider).

They offer your broad band/Dial-up connection.

Ask them to:

username
password for your service account to wide band/Dial-Up with them

Server of incoming POP3 mail
outgoing mail SMTP server

The above information is required to set up Windows Mail.

ISPS are usually happy to help you set up your email account.

See you soon.

  • I'm on windows vista, the review said that I have a file that uses disk space

    I 'm on windows vista the healthcheck says I have a file using disk space, the file name is windows.old, if I just delete this, then it will hurt my laptop, I looked at the file and there are thousands of articles, my laptop is slow, what I'm doing. My system is 32 bit. Will someone please advise me in laymans terms I'm not exactly a pro with laptops.


    The Windows.old subfolder contains all of the files from a previous installation of Windows. If you copied all your personal data of the user subfolder of windows.old. Then, it is safe to delete.
    And, since it is the Windows Update forum, which focuses on the update of the issues, this question must be validated in a more appropriate forum. Such as the

    Unable to send or receive e-mails. I get the server error: 0x800CCC90

    Check with your email provider that you have the correct settings.  If you use OE, then go to tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties and verify that the settings are correct.  You can also try to log via webmail if you have this option to determine if your ISP is having problems or if it's your computer.

  • Shockwave Flash Crash and "running the server failed WMP".

    Hello

    I have a laptop HP that used Vista. I recently decided to install Windows 7 on it a week ago, but I've had problems since.

    I find that as a first step, I would like to watch YouTube and he played very well. However, after a few hours, Youtube should take a break and pop would be a mistake, saying that Shockwave Flash broke down. This error occurred on all browsers (IE, Firefox, Opera, Chrome etc.) and the mistake of Shockwave Flash would be visible on all streaming media sites.

    I decided to play music on WWP but she also crashed and said that "Server execution failed". So I decided to restart my computer and everything worked again. My videos played WWP fine and so does Youtube.  I decided to continue to watch videos on youtube and listen to music on WWP until both started to freeze and the error occurred again. I would continue to reboot my computer and the same trend happen. Obviously, the error for Shockwave Flash Plugin crash and error running server on WWP are linked so I hope someone can help me solve this problem.

    I tried re-installing and do a lot of things that I found here on the forum to see if they can help, but none of the solutions worked. If anyone can help me, I really appreiate it! I'm not a fan of Windows 7 so far, especially with these errors, so I hope to fix it soon!

    Thank you so much in advance!

  • Wireless connectivity problems: Windows Vista displays connected to the internet with good signal, but cannot access the internet more than a few seconds.

    Hello

    Recently, I brought a Dell with Windows Vista and a Belkin Wireless adapter in my house somewhere else. The computer has never had problems connecting to wireless internet on the other networks, however since the move I was not able to access the internet. Sometimes the network shows only a local connection and not Internet and other times, the network has a strong signal, a network identified and even an internet connection, but when I open any browser, it is only able to load the Google homepage and I cannot navigate anywhere else. I turned off all firewalls and even uninstalled all 3rd party software protection. I checked all my browser settings and made sure they detect automatically the IP settings and proxy settings. In other words everything seems in good shape, but I still have no navigation capability. Any ideas?

    It turns out that I had to remove all the old Wireless USB software that had been used previously (there had been other versions of Belkin and Linksys). I then used the computer from my friend to download suitable driver on the Belkin site for the internet adapter USB I used and BAM.

  • HP pavilion d4790y windows Vista cannot connect to internet unless you use WEP wireless

    I have a HP Pavilion with Windows Vista 32 bit home premium d4790y.  I can connect to my ISP wireless router using the HP internal network adapter, but the connection between the router and the internet does not work unless I downgrade the router security to WEP.  If I connect to the router via a wired connection, I can connect to the internet without problem even with WPA2.  I did all the troubleshooting steps recommended as reset the router to check updated network adapter, uninstall/reinstall the network adapter driver, driver release and renew the ip configuration, etc.  Information?  Is there a newer driver that is not recognized during the update search process?

    It is a hardware thing and the wireless card does not support this. Changing the wireless card can be the way to go.

  • Windows Vista the spell checker no longer works

    Error in Microsoft Windows Vista Mail when I send an email from Windows Mail on Vista, I have error message "spell check interrupted for this document. Do you want... "starting to occurring 2 months without obvious reason.

    I did research online (Google, etc) and found two solutions; (1) change the language from English, to save the options and change the language to English; (2) only check the option in Tools/Options/spelling for "Always check spelling when typing".

    I did #1 and it does not solve the issue.  I can't do #2 because I have that option in Tools/Options/spelling to indicate always "check spelling before sending".

    Microsoft has no solution for this problem based on my chat with support. They reported me here.

    Does anyone have a solution to fix this frustrating problem?

    Thank you so much.

    A few things to try.

    1: do what you tried. Change the language, but then close WinMail and reboot until you change back,

    2: if it has started, do a system restore.

    3: uncheck the box: always ignore the text in a reply or forward.

    4: try to compact and repair the database.
